It was Jesse Winchester who went to Canada in 1967 and became a Canadian citizen in 1973, acc. to Wikipedia. |

Before You Came....
In a way, no one will ever understand the impact of those three words....
Unless, in a very intimate way, you are about to bring a new life into our world...
Or, you are an explorer who will soon bring a new world upon an old world...
Or something beyond is about to occur?

But when I can remember the song that was playing at that particular time, I can remember everything.  Bizarre. I'm thankful for the music. I think it was just the right time and place for Bill to hear the song. I like the song well enough to give it a 7. We all have songs like that. I think several Pink Floyd songs have hit me that way, but never when I imbibed, strangely enough. Something magical about music, I guess. |

David Gilmour, anyone? Right at the start. 7. *EDIT* Then it turns into Lindsay Buckingham...  |

Reminds me of early Elton/Bernie.
Extremely nice!

After the Youngbloods and Elephant Mountain, I lost any interest in Jesse. Stuff like this certainly doesn't change my mind. |

I can still see my Teac reel to reel playing this tune ...
Another bolt out of the blue. Way to go Bill.
And the listener rating is way too harsh.

I feel badly for people who attempt to be clever and fail so miserably. Keep trying; you'll get it eventually

Is this the Jesse that went to Canada during Vietnam war or was that Jesse Winchester? Both good artists. |

I love learning those tidbits of information about music! Thanks for sharing Inamorato :)

I love this man's voice. I had the pleasure of seeing him about 14 years ago at a very intimate club in Mill Valley's Sweetwater Inn, and he put on a wonderful show.

I had to check out who the familiar voice was. Thought I heard a David Crosby influence. Great to hear Jesse again after all these years. He was always one of my favorites. It just went into a speeded up version of Darkness Darkness. Old habits die hard.
